Musique Nonstop: Let’s Talk Female Representation in Electronic Music
Elise Mills
As this is my final contribution to The Wave, a talk about female representation in the electronic music industry is a post long overdue, don’t you think? Tune into this super important conversation with me below! And as always, I’ve got a pretty cool mix of music for you to conclude the podcast.
Elise, out!
Disappointingly, little official research has covered gender and racial disparities in electronic music, and a lot of the articles that have are, to be honest, pretty sub-par when it comes to quality and hard stats. But here are some good starting places and resources that drive the point home:
The Invisible Woman: A Conversation With Björk
The Rise of Techno Feminism in Mexico
Why Do White DJs Make All the Money?
Do All Female Lineups Really Help Women in Electronic Music?
Electronic Warfare: The Political Legacy of Detroit Techno
Women, STEM and EDM
